Tony - Score 1 for Intel & 0 for Sun & 0 for AMD!!! geek.com Posted Monday, March 19, 4:01 P.M. EST Geek.com slowness, outages First of all, we'd like to apologize for all the recent slowness and outages when accessing Geek.com. We just wanted to let you know that we're doing something about it. Last week we had several outages and we had our ISP update the version of Apache. That helped stop the outages, but occasionally the server grinds to a halt during peak hours. We are currently on a shared server (133MHz Sun box) with several other websites, any of which can clog the server and slow us down. The slowness is most apparent when trying to post messages in the Message Parlor or commenting on our news items. PenguinComputing is providing us with some new dual Pentium III 933MHz boxes with 512MB of RAM. We hope to migrate to the new machines and Debian Linux sometime in late March/early April. We are expecting the new servers to help out significantly. Comments are welcome. And, yes, we do realize that it was very un-geeky of us to be running on a shared machine for so long, but that will change soon

Tony - Re: "Elmer, Intel investors, IBM has taken over the top TPC-C spot with a 256 CPU Xeon 900 MHz cluster" Many AMDroids will refuse to believe this !! After all - didn't Intel just release the 900 MHz Xeons ? How could IBM design, build, test, debug, re-design, rebuild and re-test a 256 CPU cluster and submit it for testing in under one weeks' time? Paul
